Reinstalling Windows on my X51!?

I'm becoming really peed off with Dell, I spent £1000 on a computer that doesn't come with simple restore discs.

My X51 decided to turn my whole disc in to a dynamic disc and wiping it in the process, now I have no OS.

How am I supposed to install OEM OS without discs? I'm really annoyed.

I now have an expensive doorstop! 

Best part is I was told by Alienware twitter support to run software on a PC without an OS, what a frickin genus! 

Please help me!

    Hi LiamHing,

    Operating system Disks are not being shipped any more with the computer because, the systems are shipped with a program to create the Recovery Disks.

    Refer the following link which has steps on Using the Dell Backup and Recovery Manager:

    You may also try factory reset on the computer. Refer the following link for more information:

    Windows 7 factory reset: http://dell.to/11AZoyY

    Kindly private message me the service tag of the computer so that I can take this case further. To private message the service tag click my User name and click Start conversation.

    Awaiting your response!

    As my partner states, we are no longer sending discs with the new orders. Did you manage to fix the issue with those suggestions?
